Often, and consistently, since day one, people here seem to overlook one of the coolest things, ever.

Would you like to know what I did, as an artist, on this platform, to find success?

I shared half my earnings with all those interested enough to support my work. Traditionally, people spend money on entertainment. Here, they can stake tokens, support the arts, earn to do so, plus stand a strong chance to have all, more, or a least some of their money back if they decide supporting the arts and things they enjoy is no longer something they want to do.

Yes. Attracting and paying more artists does NOTHING for this place. Having people show up and share the existing support with all that came before is literally called, "Stagnation."

However, something like music could thrive if people understood what I just said. Scaled up, as the market crashed today, there would still be millions of dollars entering this ecosystem. With that, the artist can actually make money, plus have the paying audience they've grown accustomed to having for centuries.

It's basically taking the tools we already have and using them effectively. Like taking this dull knife we all seem to love so much, turning it over, and using the sharp edge to cut instead.

Rather than "selling" the music. You "sell" the concept of earning while supporting the arts. That's how you bring the masses to all this content. Simply give them a deal they cannot refuse.

You've written more here in comments than I did in the post :)

Budding musicians have to be social media savvy these days. Hive offers opportunities that include earning something from the start, but there are plenty of challenges. I don't say it will be easy.

We need to get across the idea that you can earn without people sending you money and that is a really radical concept. Of course they can sell music here too as NFTs or just regular downloads. We have some projects in place to do both.
